Jack Zduriencik

Washington Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon will be out the rest of the season after his dugout fight with teammate Bryce Harper — four games because of a team suspension for that episode and three games because he dropped his appeal of a Major League Baseball ban for throwing at an opponent's head last week.

Nationals Manager Matt Williams said Harper, a leading National league most-valuable-player contender, was held out of the starting lineup for Monday's home finale against Cincinnati for "his part in the altercation" with Papelbon on Sunday.
